On redhat/centos etc you can use

service MailScanner restart

anything after ~ 4.65 will wait in the middle of the restart for the old 
processes to die with the  output "waiting for mailscanner to die gracefull"

Prior to 4.65 (roughly), it will fail to start cleanly as it doesn't 
wait before trying to restart
